The Psychology of MAGA

Senator warren wants a job at DOGE?

She has offered

 

[Meathead]

She has offered

There's no DEI program so no quota for Native Americans. So no way.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Winner, winner, Chicken Dinner

Liz Warren has offered to help
Why won’t Acting President Musk let her?

Exclusive: Warren's Plan for Musk to Cut U.S. Spending

The Senator sent Musk a letter with 30 ideas for how his DOGE commission could cut $2 trillion in U.S. spending.

Looks like they are. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/14/nx-s1-5297896/elon-musk-doge-pentagon-dod

BTW, warren never said anything about availing her social programs upon the alter for some trimming.

Hiding behind the bully makes the weak kids feel strong.

The federal government is the bully and you are the weak kid standing behind it to feel strong.

If we were to identify ourselves as MAGA and non-MAGA (which includes Americans across the political spectrum), perhaps we can all agree on one thing:

MAGAs appear to get enjoyment -- real enjoyment -- out of seeing non-MAGAs in some kind of distress over MAGA's actions. They cheer on Trump's constant insults and trolling, JD Vance's attacks on our former European allies, reactions to news of the rapid dismantling of the government, the release of violent Capitol criminals. They celebrate it.

So I got to wondering what this is, from a psychological perspective, and I asked Chat GPT (which is pretty freaking amazing if you haven't tried it) "is there a psychological term for a person who enjoys being disliked?"

Here's what I got:

Yes, there are several psychological concepts that could explain why someone might want to be disliked:

1. Counterdependency – A defense mechanism where a person deliberately pushes others away or resists attachment, sometimes by behaving in a way that makes them disliked.
2. Masochistic Personality Traits – Some individuals may have a subconscious desire to create situations where they are rejected or disliked, deriving a sense of validation or control from negative treatment.
3. Rebellious or Oppositional Behavior (Oppositional Defiant Disorder - ODD) – Some people, especially in childhood or adolescence, may act in ways that provoke negative reactions as a way of asserting control or defiance.
4. Self-Sabotaging Behavior – Rooted in low self-esteem or deep-seated beliefs of unworthiness, some individuals may seek out disapproval as a way to confirm negative self-perceptions.
5. Inferiority Complex – A person with an inferiority complex may act in a way that provokes dislike as a means of reinforcing their own negative self-view.
6. Schadenfreude-Seeking (Reverse Narcissism) – Some people enjoy being disliked because it gives them a sense of power or uniqueness, as if they are above social norms or expectations.
7. Martyr Complex – A person with a martyr complex may subconsciously desire rejection or dislike to feel morally superior or to justify a belief that the world is against them.

'Trump is in charge!': MAGA activists push 'hyperpartisanship' and reject compromise

At a conservative conference in Phoenix this week, participants said they were ready to target opponents of Trump's agenda in Washington — including fellow Republicans.

They do seem to thrive on it, even to the point where they have to pretend it's happening even when it manifestly is not.

Do a forum search for the phrase "liberal tears".

There are hundreds upon hundreds of hits.

Or you know... it could just be that some of us who like Trump really despise the government and the media.

COVID revealed just how sheepish a lot of humans really are and how despicable government and its lackeys are. Once you see that, there's no turning back. Simply put, I don't trust most people or most institutions, and Trump doesn't seem to trust many institutions either.

Some may call that antisocial, but I'd rather be rude and aware than polite and oblivious.

 

[Crepitus]

As I've said to both ends of the political spectrum many, many times: The problem is not the issue you're trying to address. The problem is your methods in addressing it.

Many of the methods used by the ends of the spectrum are so destructive that I have to wonder what their goals actually are.

The problem is that on one side at least the extremists are running the show.

 

[Crepitus]

No one want retribution

Are you joking? that's what 2/3 of the crap he has done so far is about.

 

[Crepitus]

Where are our stellar roads
Where are our beautiful new Bridges
Where's money for college
Where's money for healthcare for the poor and the working classes
Where's money for anything

In Elmo's pocket.

Never happened you're lying

Day three of C-PAC

Former Pres. Trump: "I Am Your Justice...I Am Your Retribution"

During Day 3 of CPAC, former President Trump tells the crowd, "I am your justice...I am your retribution." He then vows to "totally obliterate" the so-called deep state.

Trump et al are able to do the things that they have not been able to do and perhaps wanted to do - cause pain, fear & misery to others by taking things from them that they have earned but that the cultists feel that they don't deserve.

They’re not taking anything earned. They’re recouping things that were stolen. Stolen from taxpayers. And preventing further theft.
You appear to sympathize with the thieves.

Or it could be that you’re not too bright, easily lead, and Trump sound so confident in everything says how could he possibly be lying?

Going back to the OP my money is on oppositional behaviour disorder. OBD stems from an inferiority complex, and distrust for all things that you cannot understand.

Trump killed 1.2 million Americans with his field Covid response and you’re voting for him. And then you talk about craven politicians. Trump epitomizes the term “Craven politician”.

People who are in capable of discerning what is good for them are Trump voters. Desperately looking for a “daddy” to lead them to the promised land.

 

[Dragonlady]

Never happened you're lying
And you could throw up 50 videos of him saying it and I'll act like you dumb m************ and just deny it

You want to play that game you f****** rat n*****

Alinsky f***** you so deep in the ass he gave you brain damage

Go swing from a tree f****

It most certainly did happen, and I watched him say it live.

When your only defence is to lie and deny he ever said it, it doesn’t say much for you does it.

Of course, your entire post is so angry and insane. How dare we tell you the truth!

 

[BrokeLoser]

We are great. Its MAGAs that suck.

No nation with 100 million thirdworlders can be “great”….none!
We were great because we weren’t comprised of Mexico’s people, because western culture and Christianity were the dominant influence…great because we all spoke the same language and practiced the same religion, because we followed a moral order, because patriotism and nationalism was encouraged and embraced, because everyone understood and appreciated our right to sovereignty, great because we were likeminded and united.
The Great Experiment has failed BIG-TIME and there’s no coming back.

You're right about one thing, you non MAGAS are certainly depressed since January 20th

So you feel entitled to defraud the taxpayer?

Sorry.

No, I've discussed working class (white) interests with libs and it goes like this.


1. THey deny that there are such interests.

2. They pivot and state that the issue is my personal failings, I am stupid or uneducated or racist, adn that is why...something.

3. They call me racist for discussing the conflict of interests with non white (males).

4. They state that it is impossible in the modern world to address the issues I raise and that we just have to suck it up.

5. More insults.


6. Derail the thread and back to one the next time.

Very little of that even makes any sense.

Conflict of interest?

WTF..
